The Meticulous Manicurist Nail Tutorials

Many of you aren't on our mailing list and didn't see our announcement of our product launch, Restore A Nail. Meticulous Manicurist’s Commitment to Quality and Integrity

In beauty and personal care, transparency and compliance with regulations are not just important—they are essential. Unfortunately, my company, Meticulous Manicurist, recently encountered a situation that forced us to make a difficult but necessary decision.

As the North American distributor for the product “Nail Mycosis” we were told the product met all FDA regulations. At the beginning of the relationship, our company provided the FDA monograph to the company to ensure they understood compliance in the USA. However, alarm bells started ringing when the company began changing the ingredients, label contents, and then the product name without providing us with any explanation or transparency. Our repeated requests for information were met with silence, leaving us in the dark about the product’s legality. The final straw was when US Customs held another shipment (they had changed the product name and ingredients in an attempt to pass through customs again), and customs finally mailed us paperwork explaining the product was not FDA compliant. (To date the ingredients were changed more than 8 times and the last change only contains 4 of the original ingredients with the addition of 7 others.)

We soon realized that the company was deliberately withholding critical information, manipulating our influence and reputation to continue promoting a product that was not compliant. They used our reputation and influence to gain the public's trust while knowingly not following the rules set by the FDA. This was not just a breach of trust but an apparent attempt to deceive us and the public. As a company that prides itself on maintaining the highest standards for compliance and integrity, we could not accept this behavior. The agreement with their company as the North American distributor included growing a network of professionals to sell the product by licensed professionals in salons and medical offices. They broke their agreement by listing the non-compliant product on Amazon, directly undercutting the ability of all current retailers to maintain sales levels.

Lori, thank you for this post highlighting the issues with the manufacturer. I will definitely switch to Restore-A-Nail. Negative energy weighing on you & bad for business. You did the correct thing to cut your connection with that manufacturer. Grateful & appreciative.

I noticed a while ago you stopped mentioning the other product in videos, this explains it! Sorry you had to go through all that nonsense, but congratulations on making an even better one!

Thanks for your transparency. You continue to be a class act. (That’s a compliment, in case you’re unfamiliar with the term.)

I wondered why it was out of stock for so long. I received my Restore A Nail today and I can’t wait to start using it. Thank you!

If we have a bottle of the previous one should we get rid of it?

Sounds greatt, Lori! I will def order one. However, I will miss you saying "mycosis" on your videos. It's such a funny sounding word and i love how you said it.

I bought directly from the company. Now I wonder if it's not good or safe to use. However, I did purchase the new product through you recently.

@NailFiles

I appreciate the information and transparency! I also just recently purchased the nail mycosis (within the past 2 months). Would you recommend trashing or is it still alright to use, just don’t buy again? TIA

I’m so sorry to hear of your difficulties with the original manufacturer. Good for you for taking matters into your own hands. Am I correct in assuming that like the original product, Restore a Nail cannot be shipped internationally?

This actually makes so much sense now. I had a bottle that I ordered from the company directly as I didn't know you sold it at the time, and it didn't seem to be helping. Thought maybe it was a knockoff, so ordered one through your site after hearing in a video you sold it, and it still didn't seem to be doing anything. I stopped using it for summer figuring I would try to find something else, but then the information about you using a new product. I will order today! Thank you for keeping us informed! Are you seeing as good of results with the new product as you used to with the old one when it worked?

Was your original manufacturer in China? The shady practices arent limited to China, but thats where a lot of wholesale manufacturing takes place. Because they don't care about US regulations at all. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the manufacturer is still selling your recipe under a different name. I used to work for a high dollar petfood brand, a Chinese manufacturer literally scanned copies of our petfood bags and sold fraudulent product under my former employer's name. They ultimately had to start adding holographic imagery to the bags to let people know what was real versus what was fake product. They never get held accountable for their wrongdoi g by their governments either. This is true of several countries in the Asian region.
